George's attempts to influence his children's future. ● George is quite controversial, he wants his children to behave as he did not; to marry Pakistanis; though he left his Pakistani wife for a white woman (Ella) ● He also uses violence against his kids when they disobey him ● His attempts are very egoistic as he doesn't accept his children's desire to be English ● E.g. He arranges marriages for his children against his wife's and his children's wishes and sends them to irdu classes, also keeps threatening to bring his first wife to England. George has many connections with Bradford which is seen by him as a place where he would find it easier to bring up his children a more traditional way. He even looks for prospective brides for his sons there. ●
